This document summarizes federal and state policies related to human trafficking. It discusses the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and critiques how it focused only on women and children. It also discusses the division between abolitionist and human rights advocates on issues like conflating sex work and trafficking. The document outlines subsequent reauthorizations of the TVPA and how they addressed issues like labor trafficking and strengthened border protections.
The document discusses the politicization of news and the rise of citizen journalism in China. It covers three main stories: 1) the dichotomy between global/Western versus local/Eastern frames of reporting news, and the rise of Chinese nationalism. 2) Grassroots media giving voice to local stories and issues that elude the national narrative. 3) Grassroots media activism in anti-government protests and the negotiation of voices in political transformation, as seen in citizen movements rising since 2003.
This document summarizes the history of gay rights in the United States. It notes that in the past few decades, views have shifted to accept gays and lesbians having equal civil rights. Gay marriage is now legal nationwide as of June 2015. The document also references surveys finding that as many as 9.5 million adults in the US identify as LGBT, and over 124,000 same-sex couples have married and adopted 30,000 children together.
The document summarizes the history of the gay rights movement in the United States from the late 18th century to the early 2010s. It discusses early legal penalties for homosexuality including the death penalty. It then covers the formation of early gay rights organizations in the 1950s and 1960s and the 1969 Stonewall Riots. The document also mentions the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and the legalization of both civil unions and same-sex marriage in some states, as well as the debate around Proposition 8 in California.
The Civil Rights Movement was a worldwide political movement for racial equality that took place in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. African Americans and other disadvantaged groups fought against racial discrimination and segregation in public facilities, government, and employment. Key events and organizations in the movement included the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision declaring segregated schools unconstitutional, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by Martin Luther King Jr., and advocacy groups like the NAACP and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee that supported nonviolent protests for equality and integration.
This document contains short quotes from several scholars and former politicians associated with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). The quotes discuss various political and economic philosophies including the importance of private virtue for public interest, experimentation and adventure in democratic capitalism, voters deciding political realities, the dangers of too large a government, adhering to the Constitution over utopian ideas, and that unsustainable things will eventually stop.

Percy Julian was an American chemist known for his work synthesizing medicinal drugs from soybeans and other plants. He was born in 1899 in Montgomery, Alabama and received his PhD from the University of Vienna in 1934. In his career, Julian synthesized the drugs physostigmine and cortisone from soy proteins and other natural substances. He founded his own company, Julian Laboratories, to produce cortisone and other drugs on an industrial scale. Julian received many honors for his scientific achievements over his lifetime, including election to the National Academy of Sciences.
The document discusses the water cycle and various bodies of water. It describes the water cycle as the continuous movement of water between the earth and atmosphere, involving evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, and collection of water on land or in bodies of water. It also discusses the physical and chemical properties of water, including its chemical makeup of H2O and categories of saline water. Finally, it identifies and describes different types of flowing bodies of water like rivers, creeks, and brooks, as well as non-flowing bodies of water like oceans, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, sloughs, marshes and estuaries.
If you've been following Bennu on Twitter this week you'd have noticed he had love on his mind. There were many tweets about woman and love, he even started up another run of love poetry from the Chester Beatty I Papyrus.

The document discusses the issue of human rights violations committed by the US government in its treatment of prisoners. It provides background on the definition of human rights and examples of rights violations happening worldwide. It then focuses on the case study of prisoners tortured and detained by the US at Guantanamo Bay and other sites, resulting in over 100 deaths. Students at the school propose forming a group called "Students for Justice" to raise awareness of this issue and encourage communities to take action to pressure the US government to stop torturing prisoners and uphold human rights.

Response 1:
For me, this weeks’ readings were more difficult than last weeks. Human right is such a powerful subject because, in my view, it’s a big “What’s in it for me”? “There was outrage about the Holocaust, but the fact is that genocide and crimes against humanity were integral to European colonization of the 18th through 20th centuries” (Benjamin 2009). I keep circling back to this point as Western Democracies hold themselves in such esteem, a vast majority of issues were self-created through colonization. Only four of the worlds’ countries were not colonized by Europe; Japan, Korea, Thailand, Liberia (Fisher 2015). I believe that legacy of living under forced rule creates a deep, systemic culture of potential abuse. The 2020 Human Rights Watch world reports identifies human rights violations or notable situations in120 nations or 61 percent of all countries (Human Rights Watch 2020). As complete as that sounds, it further reports more situation under investigation (ibid). It includes the United States for its criminal legal system (death penalty, racial disparity of incarcerated), juveniles in the court system, racial justice and policing and on and on. Going back further in our history, our genocide against the Native American population and the linkage between Nazi Germany patterning its Nuremburg Laws after our Jim Crow laws (Rose 2018) should give us pause for thought on why this is so important and how committed we should be to the cause. How did the United States escape shame and punishment for its own apartheid with Jim Crow when South Africa did not? So, we ask how we determine if human rights IOs are effective? Big issues like genocide, famine, displacement, refugees, make headlines, create some international action but then fade into the former news cycle. Human Rights Watch (HRW) provides an annual report on global issues. But how many people know what HRW is? This comes across as rather jaded and I suppose it is a realist point of view as only the strongest survive and nations only act when they can get something in return. Agreeing to human rights treaties offers nothing in return aside from the satisfaction of standing up for other humans.
Hathaway (2007) considers important factors of why states agree to human rights treaties. I find it obvious that less than democratic countries with poor human rights records buck these types of treaties because they have no foundational respect for human rights. The observation, “formal international legal enforcement of the treaties is minimal to nonexistent” Merry (2006), reminds me of Robin Williams describing how the police in the UK stop a crime by saying, “Stop, or I’ll say stop again!” (Williams 1986). It goes back to my original question of what is in it for me? Is naming and shaming the best route (Meernik, et al. 2012)? Is it the boomerang theory? IOs have made strides in broadening our understanding of human rights.

Week 1 Discussion
Please, answer ONE of the following.
1.) Which of the Human Rights Acts do you find the most important? Please explain.
2.) What is the largest challenge facing international human rights protection today? Has globalization and technology increased awareness and protection? Or, has the development of international trade led to greater levels of exploitation? 250 words
students examples:Steven
In my humble opinion, when talking about the Human Rights Acts, I believe the most important is Article 15. Which states that "1. Everyone has the right to a nationality. 2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality. The reason for this is because Nationality, as well as our spiritual beliefs for example, is a part of our identity and our way of being. Our nationality can explain who we are, why we do things, and what we fight for. We our not limited to just a "legal" nationality because of birth, nor can we not be limited to our choices of nationality due to race and religion. This Act gives us a right to be the people that we truly are and express ourselves better.
another exampleslucasI find The Universal Declaration of Human Rights the most important. It laid the modern framework for the liberal west's interpretation of human rights and successfully enabled a century-plus long expansion of human rights that translated into historic levels of freedom of speech, guarantee of liberty, and other fundamental human rights across the world.This ties into the second question - what is the largest challenge facing international human rights protection today. As the world order shifts away from one organized around the west towards a multipolar one organized around different power centers, some of which do not espouse western liberalism and democracy but instead authoritarianism, the continued expansion of human rights is threatened, especially in regards to protecting minorities. This trend goes hand- ...
This document discusses hate groups and hate crimes. It begins by outlining objectives of showing how dehumanization can take effect and what happens when individuals are set up to fail. It then provides definitions of hate crimes and hate groups under Canadian law. Several examples of hate groups are described on both the left and right sides of the political spectrum. Common rhetoric and propaganda methods used by these groups are examined, including dehumanization, authoritarian leadership, and the promotion of destructive ideologies. Statistics on hate crimes in Canada and locally in Toronto are also presented.
Stanford Law Review Mapping the Margins Intersection.docxsusanschei
This document summarizes Kimberle Crenshaw's article "Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color". It discusses how identity politics in feminism and antiracism have failed to consider intersectional identities like women of color. Specifically, it explores how violence against women of color, such as battering and rape, is often shaped by both racism and sexism. The author argues these experiences are marginalized within dominant resistance discourses and calls for a framework that acknowledges the intersecting race and gender dimensions of violence against women of color.

Introduction
The study of social movement reflects the social issues in different periods have faced. This work will focus on the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movements. Social movements are a result of general public consensus towards dealing with major social issues in the community.
I will discuss the historical background and ideals that supported the development of the Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Social Movement. This is intended to show the correlation between their emergence and the key social issues that the community faced.
The Abolition movement
The Abolition movement was jumpstarted with the effort of ending slavery in America. It held that all people are created equal, and hence the practice of slavery was unacceptable. This movement existed in the 19th century when many people started publicly displaying dissatisfaction for the slavery practices in the country. It placed more pressure on the authorities to outlaw slavery (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, 2017). It would allow for increased debate about segregation and discrimination.
Slaved men and women worked on large agricultural farms as maids. Their life was brutal; they were subject to severe punishments and strict racial rules and policies. With time they opposed slavery through daily acts like antislavery movements. The basis of this movement was that all men were created equal and hence, the effort to emancipate slaves (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017).
Abolitionists managed to integrate religion and moral movement, that focused on the acceptance that everyone was equal before the eyes of their creator and later on became political. Antislavery societies were formed by various churches to create awareness of evil effects of slavery (Lysack, 2012). American Colonization Society (founded 1817) was first movement to abolishing slavery but was greatly opposed since it was seen as unfair to send Black Americans from their motherland to Africa.
The American Antislavery Society was founded in 1833 by prominent leaders, such as William Lloyd Garrison David Walker and Frederick Douglass (Black Abolitionist) strongly opposed slavery in their publications (Pepin-Neff & Wynter, 2019). These publications disputed against slavery as anti-social and immoral and repeatedly used illustrations of African -American literatures and other accomplishments to outline that the Africans and their offspring had ability to learn like Americans, if granted freedom.
The abolition movement was politicized. The Native American Party opposed slavery as well immigrants. Thus, other parties like Free Soil and Whigs did so. They merge together in 1856 leading to election of Abraham Lincoln as president in United States (Lysack, 2012).
The abolitionists continued to pressurize the administration of Lincoln to terminate slavery. It to ...
Week 1 What is Global Social JusticeIntroductionSimply put, .docxcelenarouzie
Week 1: What is Global Social Justice?
Introduction
Simply put, social justice is the concept of a "just" society based on a foundation of human rights. Most agree with the idea of basic human rights for all, yet, the nature of human rights varies dramatically around the world. When you consider social justice on a global level, think about the challenge of achieving a "just" society for every human being. What is considered "right" or "just" for all? Is it possible to have a universal acceptance of one interpretation of social justice?
This week you consider varied interpretations of social justice. You explore classic documents and analyze them for Western bias and universal applicability. Finally, you explain your personal ideology regarding social justice.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

8. Outcomes: life-changing & solidarity? It was the first time we went into the holding cell for court and it was standing room only, so packed. We walked in there and they [the prisoners] were looking us up and down, checking us out. One of them asked us if we were protesters and we said ‘yes.’ And they asked ‘what were you protesting?’ We said, ‘police brutality.’ And there was silence. All of a sudden there was this collective outpouring from the women, they all wanted to tell us their stories (Vanessa 2001). We began to hear all these stories. It became harder and harder to talk about how badly we’d been treated. Awaiting trial for some could conceivably be six months, because they couldn’t make bail. And we were able to get one a lawyer, which I think had the effect of winning us a lot of points with the population. So then we’re not just a bunch of smart-ass white kids, we’re smart-ass white kids who you can get something from (Christopher Day 2002).
